Nope, I never found a good, re-assuring article on running Windows Live Sync on Windows Home Server - lots of "Uh, I think it works mostly OK". I get effectively the same thing by running SyncBackSE on my media center computer which pushes the data to my WHS so ultimately my WHS has the same photos/music/data that my other computers do.

I just got an HP WHS box, so maybe before I de-comission my old one I'll test installing WHS on it. My WHS backups do not get pushed up to Mozy - I don't think I'd want to them to be, even if I could configure it...that would be a HUGE amount of data. It took me forever to get my 200 GB up there in the first place.

I saw their reply to your twit... they ignored mine... that is ok I think that I can setup a VM on the WHS to run the Mosy backups...

Downloads - VirtualBox

it sounds like it might work with very little overhead on the WHS.

edit: I do not want to backup the backups just the data... ie my Lightroom Library, documents, etc so it should be sub 350 gig

350 gigs? Heh. Assuming you have a 1mbps upstream, expect that to take around 3-4 months, and you'll probably get some warnings form your ISP. It was a huge hurdle for me to get my initial 180 GB up there - and that's not including my RAW files...though I should start to back those up too.

1mbps upstream is SO limiting.

It's better than my 512 kbps; that took a while uploading my 60 GB music collection (though I throttled it down to take even longer, hoping that Charter wouldn't notice. They didn't seem to.)
